It amazes me that he goes to a country where he probably cant even speak the same language with most of the audience but still connects with all of these people. Thats the magic of music
The audience doesn't ruin the song, I think it just builds up that feeling of utter joy from listening to the song. I find this song absolutely breathtaking, but hearing the audience cheer just makes this whole performance blow me away.
@IAmDaveTheSheep Naah, I disagree. The sound of so many human voices expressing joy just adds to the power of this magical piece. If you want to hear it clean, you know where the studio version is.
This man or should I say legend, is the reason that I listen to music. To feel what I feel when I listen to this piece of art is indescribable :) peace love and respect to John and to all in this world :)
does anyone know what the story is behind this song? ya know the way he never seems to play it the same way twice? I'm gettin that its a changing thing like the ocean maybe? but i could of just sounded like a complete idiot and been way off ha..
someone just dethroned hendrix, clapton, bb king, hell everyone. best guitar player EVER. best musican EVER. i am literally shaking. I'm a 6'2 200 pound guy and i'm crying my butt off with joy, jumping up and down, and twirling around. I imagine this is what plays when you die and enter heaven.
@LilRedRasta Do you hear yourself when you say that JB dethroned Jimi Hendrix, Clapton, BB King and everyone else ? You should listen more of those guys... you must know that is room for all of them.
I think the one who love this song love this song because it reminds them of the thing they want without any word. Simple as that. This song is the greatest "picture" of what life is and should be. Whatever is higher than man has already blessed JB and that's why we love him without knowing him!
what i love is not only john but the rest of the band especially the back up. you know the people we love we can loose, but there will always be johns music to bring us back to earth or maybe take us away from it. the moral is that the beauty will always live on in his music. creating memories and sharing every moment with a little bit of john butlers music to enjoy. What an amazing young man, such talent.
i heard you have to sign a waiver before you see this live because for the 9 min 30s of this song, the minds of the people of those watching wander off into the depths of the musical realm; only to return with the final strum of the ocean.
How is it, that at the same time i started feeling my heart really soar a corwd of Japanese people started screaming for this tracks beauty? Or how many people around the world who don't speak the artists native tongue can fall in love with their music?? Music is the true language of the human spirit, it unites us, it runs through us, Our heart beat is the bass drum to life. Our breath is the rythym. Muisc is our soul. And no other song, can prove that the way one man just did.
This is perfect. Let's all just love again. Thinks might seem bad but for at least for 9:30 mins, I have peace. And I can face the crap life throws at me with a smile. :)
he puts such passion into his playing, amazing song and fantastic playing ! respect brother
